to change his major, so it is likely that he will leave Class A next semester."Just tell me what you need me to do, Hongtu. I'm at your disposal.""Regarding the purple mech pilot, that's my intel. You...It seems the Crown Prince has grand ambitions this time. Let me see how he'll play his cards.

The corners of her lips twitched in a ripple, and she opened her dazzling eyes, saying with a smile.

"Master, guess what."

"Since this is about using a plan to counter another plan, then he should wait for the Second and Third Princes to rush to the Emperor's presence. At that time, as the Crown Prince, he can step out to protect the Emperor. When he kills his two younger brothers, it will be justified, after all, he has to protect his father."

As for me and my three children, the Crown Prince would never allow any harm to come to them. After all, they are his bargaining chips for ascending the throne. But I am different. As a sickly woman, if something were to happen to me during this palace coup, it wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

The prince probably even has my posthumous title figured out. As for the Empress, she'd undoubtedly be thrilled if this sickly me abdicated, allowing her son to marry a healthy woman of noble standing to help the prince win over the officials.

"Am I right"

Ripple asked calmly.

Cyclone listened to Ripple's words, nodding his head incessantly, looking like a proud pet. A look of admiration was clear on his face. His cat eyes were narrowed in approval.

"Master, what are you going to do then"

"Since they've already included me, I naturally can't disappoint their hard work. It remains to be seen who will ultimately win."

The ripples had already gotten out of the bathtub, put on her Yunjin inner garment, held Feng in her arms, walked out of the bathing room, and sat in front of the dressing mirror, letting Lan Zhi help her wipe her wet hair.

Lan Zhi saw the kitten in Lian Yi's arms and said with some surprise:

"Your Highness, this servant hasn't seen Feng very much these past two days. I don't know where he's gone to play. He only just came back so late."

Ripple stroked the wind-blown fur of Whirlwind, saying with a smile:

"The whirlwind caught all the mice in the East Palace, so it went to other palaces to catch them. It was only after doing enough that it came back."

"The whirlwind is truly remarkable. Ever since he arrived, I haven't heard a single squeak from the mice."

Lanshi carefully wiped the wet hair of Lianyi, chatting idly at the same time.

"Of course, our whirlwind is quite impressive. I'm not well enough to walk around the palace, so don't keep him tied up."

After the lights were out, Lian Yi lay on her bed. This was when Duo Duo went to do something. The next day, Lian Yi led a large group of people to Fengqi Palace to pay respects to the Empress.

The Empress gazed at the ripples for a moment before speaking:

"You, child, your complexion looks a bit better now. Why did you come to pay respects to this Palace The imperial physician has said that you need to rest well and not go out in the wind."

With a respectful bow, Lian Yi finally spoke with a hint of embarrassment:

"My mother is worried, but Lian Yi's body is getting better. She just misses her child dearly."

Having finished, she looked expectantly at the Empress.

The Empress naturally understood the ripples’ meaning, so she waved her hand to the maids beside her and said:

"Bring the child here so that the Crown Princess can have a look. As their grandmother, I haven't treated them poorly."

"The empress' words are too heavy. The empress loves them three dearly, she hasn't even had time to properly care for them, how could she possibly wrong them It's just that I miss them too much."

Ripple immediately complimented.

After a few moments, three clean-looking wet nurses brought out the children. Lian Ri touched each child's tiny hand and face before allowing the nurses to take them inside.

There you go, now you can relax!

The Empress raised an eyebrow and asked.

"With my mother here, I can rest assured."

"Ripples, this palace knows you want to see your child. This palace isn't preventing you from seeing them, it's just that you've only recently recovered from a serious illness and your body is still weak. Besides, the place where you live also needs to be thoroughly cleaned, and all the items used during your recovery need to be replaced."

The child is too young, if he catches your illness, it will be you who suffers in the end. When you have everything arranged, this palace will have someone send the three children back to the East Palace. It's still better for the children to be with their mother.

The Queen's words were well-reasoned and everything was for the child's sake, as well as Ripple's health. Naturally, Ripple wouldn't refute her, instead laughing and praising the Queen for being so considerate.

As mothers, I've raised the Crown Prince myself. Naturally, I have more experience than you.

The Empress looked at the ripples and didn't show any entanglement. She didn't say she would take the child away now, so her face became even more amiable.

After a few words, Lianyi returned to the East Palace with her attendants. Then, she said to Lanzhi and Sun Mama beside her:

"Did you all hear what the Empress just said"

Yes, Your Highness, I heard everything.

Then you arrange people to thoroughly clean the East Palace, so that I can bring back my three treasures later.

"Yes!"

Because they had to bring back the three young princes, after the order was given, no one dared to neglect it. That day, the maidservants and eunuchs of the East Palace sprang into action.

After the message reached the Empress, she expressed great satisfaction. This was exactly the effect she wanted. If those people believed that three children were in her palace, wouldn't they storm Fengqiping Palace Who would guarantee her safety then

It's better to get rid of the hot potato before things happen, even if it's her own grandchild. As long as her son is firmly in that position, she won't lack grandchildren anyway.

The Empress's actions, of course, had been discussed with her son. Although the Crown Prince was reluctant, this was his mother after all. When he ascended to that position, he would still need his mother to control the inner court. Besides, there was Meng Lianyi to be dealt with. In the end, he nodded in agreement.

It took three days for ripples to clean the East Palace and even change all its furnishings. On the fourth day, she finally succeeded in bringing back all three children.

The three wet nurses were arranged by the Empress, so they had a somewhat arrogant demeanor. However, when facing Lian'er, they were not disrespectful, only unwilling to let Lan Zhi and Sun Nanny take care of the child.

"Your Highness, they've gone too far."

Lan Zhi was the first to express her unwillingness.

"It's fine, children just need a couple of days to adjust after moving somewhere new. It's best for them to be with familiar people. If anything happens to the child, I'll take care of it myself, so you don't have to worry about not having a chance to look after them."

Ripple's words were vague, but the meaning was very clear: they shouldn't worry.

The three nannies saw that the ripples hadn't attacked them, and they even assigned each of them a palace maid to help take care of the children. After looking at each other, they became even more attentive to their charges.

That evening, the prince rarely came over to contact Lian Yi with soft and gentle words, and talked about the coming hundred-day banquet of the three children.

"The children's full-moon ceremony was only briefly held in the East Palace. Mainly because you were still recovering from your illness at the time, and I also had to deal with those who had acted against you and the children during your childbirth, so I apologize for putting the children through this."

This time I specially went to ask my father for permission, wanting to give the child a lively 100-day banquet.

Ripple was leaning against the Crown Prince's arms at this moment. Hearing his words, a sarcastic curve appeared on her lips. Giving the child a hundred-day banquet was a pretense; what she truly wanted was to create an opportunity for the Second and Third Princes to make a move."Dad, I'm on my way home! I stayed to ask the teacher some questions today, so it took a little longer. You'll see your sweet daughter soon!"While on the phone, Ripples waved goodbye to the three peop...
